RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE CANADIAN PACIFIC.


Sir George stephen, President Of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway. speaking Of Premier
Norquay's telegram Saturday, said: "a lot
of spectators are at the bottom of the whole
affair What they propose doing Is to build
a road from Winnipeg to connect with the
NoIthem Pacific. The real object Of the
move is not to furnish additional accommo-
dations to the country. because that is not
required, but to give the American railways
the control Of the Canadian Pacific. Once
the Northern Pacific reaches Winnipeg, the
Canadian Pacific Railroad is cut In two. The
vital question for the Government and for
the people Of Canada TO decide Is, therefore,
whether Canada's stranscoutinental road Is to
be maintained in Its entirety"

Of the dedication of the soldiers and sailors
monument at New Haven on the 18th day of
June next has remained unanswered in the hope
that might be able to accept the same when
other plans and arrangements were definitely

our country.
The citizens of a State so rich as yours in hon.

and so full Of the sturdiness which a hardy love
of liberty teaches, do well to erect to the memory
of her fallen heroes monuments which shall con-

have and all they enjoy was dearly bought, and
that their inheritance of peaceful prosperity is
charged with an obligation Of honor and affection
for those from whom it was descended and with
duty of its preservation by the exercise of patri-
otic citizenship. Yours veryltruly,

Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

The Rev. Howard Crosby, whose
lecture on "The Scriptural View of
Temperance before the students
of the Theological Seminary at
College last evening, has
created so much comment, was
seen by a reporter to-day. He
said: "There are some points in
the :eport of my lecture that need
to be explained and corrected
The newspapers make it appear
that I went over to New Bruins
wick and touched off a bombshell
The fact is, I was invited by the
students to give my views on the
'Scriptural idea of temperance
They knew what [ thought before
1 went there, for my views are the
same that I have been advocating
publicly for the last thirty years
At the close of my lecture several
of the professors came up and
shook hands with me, saying that
they agreed with me in every par
ticular. Of course, some were very
angry, and I could see that the fac
ulty we're divided on the subject
1t is said in one of the papers that
when asked by Professor Doolittle,
whether, if a young man called at
his house, I would advise him to
offer the young man wine as freely
as I would coffee, or lemonade, I
replied: 4 do not believe in treat
ing; but if you want a glass of
claret with your beefsteak to-mor-
row morning, and can afford to
have it, and you don't have it, you
are a fool
"The expression sounds very
rough, and I would not use such
to Professor Doolittle,
who is an old friend of mine
What 1 did say was that he would
be very foolish not to use it."

and I am thankful to God for
them. I am told that I advocate
the use of these drinks because 1
them myself. That is sim
ply nonsense. I don't advocate
the use of any kind of drink, but
L believe it is not sinful to use
wine or beer, and that a man
does not sin who uses them in
moderation. The Scriptures of
the Old and New Testaments both
show that wine has been
used in all ages, and nowhere can
it be shown by them that it is

Hon. James E. Campbell in a
recent address before the Virginia
Democratic Association, reviewed
the history of the Republican par
ty, and spoke the truth, if ever it
was uttered by mortal man, when
he said of the reign of that party :
"There@was never twenty years, not
since God permitted men to inhab-
it the earth, in which there was so
much corruption, theft, robbery
and crime"

The Toledo Bee, speaking of the
surplus says: sThe money be-
longs to the people; it was flched
from them by extortionate taxa
ton, it was taken from them by a
process of legalized robbery. If
the country does not need the sur
plus and nobody is SO insane as
to claim that it does, let wise ap-
preparations dispose of the present
surplus and prompt relief mea-
sures prevent an accumulation OF
another large surplus in the future,
People can use their own money
to better advantage than the gov
eminent can. The banks have nc
claim on the surplus, and people
should not be taxed to support
them. Taxation for the Legitimate
demands of the govsrnment, even
when seemingly burdensome, is
cheerfully acquiesced in, but when
advance beyond that limit is at
tempted, people protest. The sur.
plus can be put in circulation
through the agency of government
improvement, and immediate ben.
eft will accrue to laboring and
mercantile interests"

difference between Secretary of the
Treasury Manning and Secretary of

the banking business in Gotham,
but according to all accounts at the
time, Sherman went into the bank

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1887-02-24

Ex-Governor Hoadly recently
gave his views of the political out
look. He said:
"The Democrats are hopeful to a
man for next fall. All we need do
is rest on our oars and let the Re
publicans go ahead. They are fast
cutting off their own heads. The
manner in which they are manag-
ing affairs in Ohio is the most con-
vincing proof of their inability to
govern honestly and progressive
ly. Their administration has al
ready caused such strong opposi-
ton from honest citizens that the
end of their regime is only a ques-
ton of time. You can put it down
as a fact that victory never looked
SO certain for the Democrats in
Ohio as it does next fall" Refer
ring to the next Presidential cam
paign, he said: II have been I'M
able to find any name suggested
as the Democratic candidate but
one. Wherever L have been, and
whoever I have talked to, Presi-
dent Cleveland has been the man
suggested. AS far as 1 can under
stand, opposition to him has to
come. We certainly have not
heard of it yet. Personally, 1
don't very we'll see who can be put
up against him to make any i'm
provement on our present choice.
1t seems to me that if Cleveland
is renominated that the citizens of
the United States will trust him
again. Americans appreciate a
good man when they find him.
Surely Grover Cleveland has acted
ably, honestly and progressively"
